Subject: Are tattoos trashy? Yay or Nay and why?
I don’t think they are necessarily trashy but most don’t look good because of what it is and the placement. I don’t feel the same way about them as I did when I was younger. I’m 40 now with tattoos.

I've never met a woman to whom I would have said "you're kind of cute, but oh, I do so wish you had a tat."
Lose the trend, just take care of your body.
Period, that's it? Nothing but judgment, let's go all in on the smug contempt?
Are women with open heart surgery scars not allowed to get a tattoo over it, just so they don't have to be reminded of that pain every time they undress, or is that ugly, messy, and cheap? Does it somehow make them "easy?"
What about mastectomy scars, or tumor removal sites, or kids who used to be preemie babies and still have scars from all the ports and lines in the NICU? Is is just too bad, so sad, you get what you get and you don't get to change it, you gross, ugly, messy, cheap person?

Tattoo ink is not regulated by the FDA. There are no guaranteed safe tattoo inks. So having one says you don’t do your research or care about your health.
FDA source:
https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/think-you-ink-tattoo-safety
The FDA has not approved any pigments for injection into the skin for cosmetic purposes.
Although research is ongoing at the FDA and elsewhere, there are still a lot of questions about the long-term effects that may be caused by the pigments, other ingredients, and possible contaminants in tattoo inks. The FDA has received reports of bad reactions to tattoo inks right after tattooing and even years later. You also might become allergic to other products, such as hair dyes, if your tattoo contains p-phenylenediamene (PPD).

52yo F, I have no tattoos
I think lots of tattoos is a sign that person had trauma in their life. Tons of tattoos is a form of self harm like cutting.
That is exactly what my best friend says about her numerous tattoos. They replaced cutting. She has had a lot of trauma and has recently been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder

I think they weren't, but now they are. I know many friends and coworkers regret them and some like PP are going through or have gone removal. I 100% regret mine (stupid college move) and keep it covered.

Tattoos are trashy. I got a 3 of them on my upper arm and bicep while in the military at age 19 - 20, immediately regretted what I did and kept them covered up for years until I could afford removal treatments. Stupidity stupidity. I wish I had never done it. Female , 49

Piercings are even more disturbing than visible tattoos. Steer clear for calmer waters.

Lots of tattoos placed visibly on the chest, arms, hands and shoulders of a woman are clear marker of trauma/sexual abuse/low self esteem/ect. One or two small tattoos placed in covered areas, not an issue.

No, I think it's a trauma thing. Seems to be the issue with most people I know who have visible tattoos and significant piercings.
